Getting Beat in Candy Land

It is a bit difficult to see, but I’m the yellow guy, and Helena is the blue one (forefront of the picture) near the end. Okay, so I was getting beat the entire game.\

But to add insult to injury…..


So I’m getting beat by Helena who looks at me as if she is trying to figure out why getting the two candy hearts card is a bad thing. At least I didn’t have to move too far back.

I’m going to kick her butt at Chutes and Ladders tomorrow, though.

Going to the Zoo…


The excitement is almost too much for Helena to take! Daddy has just told her that we are going to a surprise place today.

She just figured out it was the Zoo!

My two little chickens. The poultry barn was a big hit with both of them… lots of climbing.


The fish were the biggest thrill for both kids…we had to make two trips thru the aquarium.

Okay, I take that back. Helena’s biggest thrill (and mine too) was watching her Daddy be brave as they rode the camel. Oh Bill, and we wonder where Liam gets all those crazy faces he makes!

Near the end of the day we were all just plain worn out. Here is little Liam too tired to smile.
